Oh Daisy!

All for under $20! I started looking at Chadwicks.com today and found a ton of shoes that I love (my new favorite shoe store!) I didn't spend much time on the site but very easily found these three options. Let me know which ones you like and that way we can get more of a feel for what everyone wants. I have no idea why Andy decides to have opinions on some things but he has requested that everyone wear the same shoe... This could be complicated trying to coordinate!

Pair #1
Pair #2 (my favorites but would they look good with the dress?)
Pair #3 (not my favorite but I would love to see you all in a full pump and Stacey and Clinton always say to go with the pointy toe)

Just thought I would share some pictures from my week in Central Point! As you all know I also got my dress this weekend but I refuse to post those pictures anywhere just in case! We took a trip out to the Riverhouse to show mom and the girls what we are working with. It was very helpful and gave me a good idea of what needs to be done and what is not necessary. Other than that we created a timeline for the wedding, i handed off the job of finding a DJ to Andy, and figured out that we have a little bit of time before anything else big needs to happen. I get to spend a bit of time relaxing (aka student teaching and taking 19 credits!)

They are now both obsessed with worms! Gross!

A very long and busy week!

Ok... I've changed my mind on these about 10 times so i'm not set in stone on these but right now they are my favorite :) I love the table setting of the first picture with the white table cloth, pink runner (it would probably be green) lots of candles around it and rose pedals around it. But i don't want the small square vase I would rather have a vase like in the second picture. What do you think?

I was talking with the girls about what I was planningn on doing with my hair for the day of the wedding. I thought I would put them up here just to share! Half way through my week off :( I'm excited to get into the schools but am enjoying sleeping in late and being lazy all day long! More updates on centerpieces later in the week!

We purchased wedding bands today!! Andy got a Tungsten metal ring which he is very excited about because it is un-scratchable! Definitely what he needs! It has just a little bit of detail around the edges. My band is the same band that my engagement ring is on. This isn't the exact picture of mine but it's close to it.

How does this sound? We are thinking about changing the pork to some kind of beef and one of the side dishes to fruit.

Dry Rubbed Barbecue Chicken with Housemade BBQ Sauce
Pulled Pork with Potato Buns
Smoke and Spice Beans
Red Pepper Coleslaw Green Salad with Buttermilk Herb Dressing, Roast Carrots and Herbed Croutons Roast Red Potato Salad with Basil
Fresh Rosemary Onion Bread and Butter

If for some reason you are interested, we are probably going to go through Helena Darling Catering.

The number one choice for favors is sugar cookies (homemade :) ) but the question is.... which packaging looks better?


Option #1: The original idea was to create these simple little bags with a monogrammed L on them and probably something that said thank you for joining us. These would be very simple and only require a few minutes of work on the morning of to put them all in bags. Then they would all just be sitting in a basket for people to take on their way out.










Option #2: I just found these cute easy to make boxes in a magazine this weekend. The boxes are very easy to make but are somewhat time consuming. All of the folding of the paper could be done months in advance but the sugar cookies wouldn't be able to go into them until day before/ day of the wedding and so it would take a lot of time to tie all of the ribbons. (yes, that means help from all of you :) ) Depending on the color of the table cloth the white paper might turn into a cool green printed paper and the ribbon turn into an ivory ribbon. These would be sitting at each place setting. The second picture is how they look opened up.




















Which one do you like better???? p.s. I know this is a very small detail that doesn't really need to be worked on for a while BUT I do want to be on the look out for the either the bags or the paper and ribbon so the materials can be gotten early.

Just an update for those of you in the Rogue Valley or who may be in the Rogue Valley the week that I am home (August 18th through the 24th). The plan is to take a drive out to the Riverhouse on Tuesday evening just to get another look at it and show it to mom. We will probably leave the house once mom gets rid of all the kids. Anyone who wants to come check it out is more than welcome. Then on Saturday the 23rd we are going to go look at dresses at Shirley's Bridal. Probably sometime in the morningish (10-11-12). Once again anyone who wants to join us just let me know! Other wedding plans for that week are to meet with the caterer, florist, and look into rental companies :)

The wedding this weekend was beautiful!! Absolutely amazing and the most lavish wedding I think anyone (besides the girls on platinum weddings) could ever dream of. Andy was excited because they had three different open bars running all night! Because there were to many pictures to e-mail out I have just created a page that has them all on it. Check it out: http://twallac3.googlepages.com/pictures Other than the wedding the weekend was very relaxing. I managed to spend 2 1/2 full days not thinking about school or trying to plan my own wedding! Now back to the realities of class :(
